As a Global Business Development Manager, you will assess industry and market trends and leverage your understanding of business and international trade to build a global business plan and marketing strategy. You will also develop and implement strategies for expanding your organization's operations, offerings, or services into new markets or grow existing markets through initiatives in emerging markets. Global Business Development Managers typically work closely with staff around the world, including sales and marketing, research and development, and production.
